She tells Scripps News that conditions inside police stations citywide are getting worse. But she credits volunteers for keeping everyone safe. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said last month that"decompressing" the police stations is a top priority. But as arrivals soar, the city appears unable to keep up.
Some police officers – who didn't want to appear on camera – tell us conditions are not ideal, but it doesn't impact their job too much."This is not what the police are supposed to be doing. It is not what police stations were meant for," said John Catanzara, the president of Chicago's Fraternal Order of Police.Once space opens up at any of the city's 15 shelters, migrants could be transferred there. But as one Venezuelan woman tells us, the process can take months.
